Swell Summary
Outlook through Monday March 26: A large northeast swell will build Tuesday night, peak late Wednesday through Wednesday night, then steadily lower through the second half of the week. Warning-level surf will be likely along east facing shores with advisory-level surf possible along north facing shores Wednesday into Thursday. Advisory-level surf will likely hold along east facing shores through Friday as the swell slowly lowers.
Surf heights are forecast heights of the face, or front, of waves. The surf forecast is based on the significant wave height, the average height of the one third largest waves, at the locations of the largest breakers. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near any surf zone.
